Ceramides are intercellular lipids naturally found in our skin that bonds dead skin cells together to create a barrier. They are known for their ability to hold water and thus are a great ingredient for dry skin.
Ceramides are an important building block for our skin barrier. A stronger barrier helps the skin look more firm and hydrated. By bolstering the skin ceramides act as a barrier against irritating ingredients. This can help with inflammation as well.

Tirtir Ceramic Cream 38 ingredients
This cream along with the milk toner from the same brand ruined my skin barrier. My face got hot, turned red and started burning after application. My skin was inflamed for days afterwards. After this experience I realised that it might be the witch hazel in this product that is not good for my sensitive rosacea prone skin. So I avoid any products that contain those ingredients
It’s thick and hydrating, leaves the face with a glass skin finish. My only issue is that it really stinks. It smells like car tyres and it’s unbearable. Also really less quantity for the price.
Definitely a pass. Also if you’re acne prone like me, this cream has myristate which has a comedogenic rating of 5, so please stay away.
Edit: this irritated my skin and gave me irritation and acne, Show more
